Who here thinks that Ernie Irvan (a NASCAR Winston Cup Driver) drove
into the back of Sreling Marlin at Talladega. He said that it was
Sterlings fault. Then Sterling crashed into Dale Earnhardt and sent
him FLYING into the wall practically head on, then D.E. FLIPPED once
onto his side then got hit by 4 MORE CARS! Swervin denied the WHOLE
thing. He said it was Sterlings fault! Can you beleive that, I mean at
least admit to it that you made a mistake! His Crew Cheif said that
Sterling had Ernie all the way down onto the apron in the Tri-oval.
That's a bunce of BULL-SH!T! He drove down there all by himself! He
didn't get much of any damage and walked away as once again "SWERVIN
IRVAN" the HELL RAISER! Erine Irvan is STILL Swervin Irvan to me and I
think he needs MORE medical attention TOO! What do you all think?? I
will await ALL you replys. And I'm sure I'll get PLENTY!

Flame warOff-topic argument over Irvan and Earnhardt Talladega crash
A poster blamed Ernie Irvan for the Talladega crash that sent Dale Earnhardt into the wall. Others defended Irvan as a racing incident, and the original poster replied with a string of capitalised rants. Many regulars told him the topic belonged in rec.autos.sport.nascar.

Like I've been saying,
Well now from the looks of it I should be thanking CBS Portland, OR.
Got to see the whole race with just updates on the reg
scheduled golf tourney after the last wreck.
BTW: personal opinion, it looked to me (as well as could tell from
cruddy camera angles) like Ernie drifted up at his right front at the
same time as Sterling drifted down into corner and voila, 14 cars ala
la'machine!!
As the real pros would say, It was just one of those racing things.
I personaly think that we need to keep the bigger picture in mind and
be thankful that there were no career ending/life threatening
injuries. I for one couldn't believe it when Dale was able to walk to
the ambulance after watching his car roll over and get tagged 3 more
times, once in the roof. It says a lot for how the sport has advanced
in saftey and building tech when you can see 14 cars involved in
something like that and everyone lives. Not to long ago they'd of
hauled at least one driver out in the heli if not the coroners van.
I could sit here and howl about who did what but my feeling is that
while everyone has a favorite driver, the sport is about the race
itself, not the petty bickering about laying blame. After all, at 200+
shit happens and that's the whole story. Does anyone see the teams
which had mega $ worth of car destroyed talking the kind of sadly
pitiful crud that has flown around here lately? Have any of the
flamers against driver A or B ever driven a car at Taladega? I don't
know but I doubt it, lets not lose the big picture here folks and just
be thankful we even have a sport like this to watch.
Maybe this will draw flames, maybe not, I hope and like to think we
are mature enough to be beyond that. I try to remain objective and
simply enjoy the sport without laying blame when "my" driver is
knocked out or when "my" driver does the knocking.

If you'll watch the replay real close, you'll see just before the
touch, Ernie was forced down onto the apron. Unlike in the sim, when
you do this in a real car, you will slip up the track. Maybe he should
have backed off, but would you (or that "Take'em out if they wont move"
guy Dale).
Mike
It was just racin'. Marlin came down a little and squeezed Ervan down
onto the apron. Once he got the two left side tires on the apron, the car
came back up the track, as it will when that happens. With no where else
to go, he drifted into Marlin. That was certainly nothing like Earnhardt
taking out Hamilton earlier in the year :).

:
Well, once again a DE fan lets their mouth get in the way of what little
brains they have. I have always been a Ford fan and am a Ernie Irvan fan
but I still like to see races when Earnhardt and Labonte and all the other
Chevy guys are running with the Fords, simply because it is more interesting. Heck I even like some Chevy drivers and I would even like Earnhardt BUT thanks to "fans" like Tom I really have trouble liking DE. Anyone who watched the
interview "objectively" with Ernie Irvan saw that he "did not take the
blame for the wreck" but he did give a rational excuse and no hid "did not"
blame the wreck on Sterling. He did say Sterling came down but he also
mentioned that Jarrett was on his bumper which caused him to slide up.
Guess some people missed that part of the interview. Anybody with a brain
can watch the replay and see that Ernie's car clearly went up the track and
into Marlin. But it takes someone with a brain that works to realize that
this type of stuff happens and when cars are cutting through the air at
190 even the smallest bobble can cause a 14 car pileup.
All I'm trying to say is this stuff happens all of the time and as long
as they run with restrictor plates it will continue to happen. Yes it was
partially Ernie's fault but it certainly wasn't intentional. I mean what
idiot would turn into another driver at the front of the field at Talladega
on purpose!? If people would get off of their high horse just because they
cheer for "The Champ" and let him drive like the great driver he is then
I'm sure several other people out there would admit respecting DE more than
they do today. Hell, when Darrel Waltrip hit Davey Allison at Pocono and
almost killed him I sure didn't see anyone griping at DW. As usual when a
popular driver causes a wreck it was"just one of those racing deals." Of
course when a popular driver is in a wreck caused by someone else then it
is obviously a lack of talent on the transgressor's part. Can't we all just
enjoy the races instead of pointing fingers?

| Well, once again a DE fan lets their mouth get in the way of what little
| brains they have. I have always been a Ford fan and am a Ernie Irvan fan
| but I still like to see races when Earnhardt and Labonte and all the
other
| Chevy guys are running with the Fords, simply because it is more
interesting. Heck I even like some Chevy drivers and I would even like
Earnhardt BUT thanks to "fans" like Tom I really have trouble liking DE.
Anyone who watched the
| interview "objectively" with Ernie Irvan saw that he "did not take the
| blame for the wreck" but he did give a rational excuse and no hid "did
not"
| blame the wreck on Sterling. He did say Sterling came down but he also
| mentioned that Jarrett was on his bumper which caused him to slide up.
| Guess some people missed that part of the interview. Anybody with a
brain
| can watch the replay and see that Ernie's car clearly went up the track
and
| into Marlin. But it takes someone with a brain that works to realize
that
| this type of stuff happens and when cars are cutting through the air at
| 190 even the smallest bobble can cause a 14 car pileup.
Right On! Yes I am a fan of Dale Earnhardt! No I don't like Ernie Irvan!
No I don't like Jeff (Wonderboy) Gordon! Yes I like Rusty Wallace! (that
should stop the Chevy/Ford ideas) But as stated above, Ernie said the his
car was getting lose, Jarret was on and off the gas behind and that caused
him to get looser. When he tried to control the car, he did appear to
overcorrect his steering, causing him to drop onto the apron. (Who at this
point wouldn't have jerked the wheel a little?) At that point in the turn,
the cars have a natural tendency to drift up a little anyways. Maybe I'm
rambling.... Don't mean to!
After Bud at the Glen however, when Ernie stayed out after spraying trans
fluid onto the course (why didn't NASCAR black flag him anyways?) and
caused Rusty to slide into the tire barricade, I have dropped quite a bit
of respect for Ernie and his team.... I'm not trying to upset anyone, just
throwing in my 2 cents worth.... But hey! If Dales happy and content with
"Thats just racing" then so am I!
sorry not pertinent to the group.... But I just had to spit it out!

It's okay, venting accepted. Just don't make it a habit, or we'll have
to ask you to got to rec.autos.sport.nascar ;-) And if you persist, we
will force you to take such posts to rec.autos.sport.indy where you
will be flamed eternally for your heresay!

joke, son!" Foghorn Leghorn)
